Look around your kitchen and see how much of the food in your refrigerator and cupboards are pre-packaged, and full of ingredients that you can't pronounce.

What initially appear to be random, unrelated events are, in actuality, violent eruptions in a worldwide biological chain reaction. In an idyllic Long Island community, paleobiologist Richard Sinclair is one of the first to suspect that the environment has begun to wage bloody, terrifying war on humanity.

I’m glad I did, as I have a suspicion that these books should really be read in order. Something else always edged in front: a book with a read-by deadline, or one I couldn’t resist anymore.įinally, a member of my book group suggested we should all try reading some Louise Penny, at which point I thought I might as well start with book one in the Chief Inspector Armand Gamache series.

This is not the place for that sort of advice, though I do have one practical suggestion for the southern leg of the trip: use a travel agent who specializes in Italy, for it will save you many headaches and much hassle, at a cost that is truly negligible relative to the overall expense (we used Connoisseur’s Travel, an excellent agency based in Chicago). There are countless guides available, in print and online, for anyone planning travel to, in, and around Rome, and resources for traveling in the south, though skimpier, are not hard to come by (type “Basilicata Italy travel” into Google, and you’ll get about 600,000 results). ![]() |
